If you've been searching for the perfect Toyota but can’t find the exact model, trim, or colour you want on the lot, pre-ordering might be the best option for you. At Castlegar Toyota, we make the process simple and stress-free, ensuring you get the vehicle that fits your needs.

Here’s everything you need to know about how pre-ordering a Toyota works in Southern BC.

What Is a Car Pre-Order?

Pre-ordering a vehicle means reserving a Toyota before it arrives at the dealership. Instead of choosing from the current inventory, you can secure a future Toyota model that’s being built or is on the way. This allows you to get exactly what you want—the right trim, colour, features, and even factory-installed upgrades. It’s the best way to ensure your new Toyota is tailored to your needs.

Does Pre-Order Mean You Have to Wait?

Yes, but it’s worth the wait. Since pre-ordering allows you to customize your Toyota or secure a high-demand model, there may be a waiting period before your vehicle arrives. However, pre-ordering ensures that you don’t miss out on your preferred vehicle, especially in times of limited inventory.

How Long Do You Have to Wait When You Pre-Order a Vehicle?

The wait time for a pre-ordered Toyota depends on a few factors, including:

  • The model and trim you choose
  • Factory production schedules
  • Availability of parts and components

On average, pre-ordering a Toyota can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months, but our team at Castlegar Toyota will keep you updated every step of the way.

Can You Get More Customizations When You Pre-Order a Car?

Absolutely. One of the biggest perks of pre-ordering is the ability to customize your Toyota to your exact preferences. Depending on the model, you may have options for:

  • Exterior and interior colours
  • Technology packages
  • Seating configurations
  • Performance upgrades
  • Advanced safety features

Pre-ordering lets you design your ideal Toyota rather than settling for what’s available on the lot.

What Are the Advantages of Pre-Ordering a Car?

Pre-ordering a Toyota at Castlegar Toyota comes with several key benefits:

  • Get the exact model, trim, and features you want
  • Avoid the stress of vehicle shortages and high-demand delays
  • Enjoy factory customization options that may not be available on in-stock models
  • Lock in pricing and take advantage of current incentives
  • Plan ahead for your next vehicle rather than rushing to find something last-minute
  • Pre-ordering ensures you get the Toyota you want without compromise.

How Does the Pre-Order Process Work on New Vehicles?

At Castlegar Toyota, pre-ordering a Toyota is simple and hassle-free:

  • Choose Your Toyota: Select the model, trim, colour, and features you want.
